The correspondence between key points is an important problem in lunar surface image processing, and further lays the foundation for the navigation of a rover and the terrain reconstruction of the lunar surface. However, the problem is still challenging due to the existence of large scale and rotation transformations, reflected view of the same scenery, and different illumination conditions between acquired images as the lunar rover moves forward. Traditional appearance matching algorithms, like SIFT, often fail in handling the above situations. By utilizing the structural cues between points, in this paper we propose a probabilistic spectral graph matching method to tackle the point correspondence problem in lunar surface images acquired by Yutu lunar rover which has been recently transmitted to the moon by China's Chang'e-3 lunar probe. Compared with traditional methods, the proposed method has three advantages. First, the incorporation of the structural information makes the matching more robust with respect to geometric transformations and illumination changes. Second, the assignment between points is interpreted in a probabilistic manner, and thus the best assignments can be easily figured out by ranking the probabilities. Third, the optimization problem can be efficiently approximately solved by spectral decomposition. Simulations on real lunar surface images witness the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Budget optimization is an important issue faced by advertisers in search auctions, and has significant impact on the design of various advertising strategies. Given a limited budget on a search market during a certain period, an advertiser has to distribute her budget to a series of sequential temporal slots (i.e., days, weeks, or months), during which advertisers must avoid the budget being used up quickly, so as to keep the budget for potential clicks with better performance in the future. Considering the optimal budgets over these temporal slots as fuzzy variables, we establish a two-stage fuzzy budget allocation model, and use particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to solve it in case when these optimal budgets are characterized by discrete fuzzy variables. We also conduct experiments to validate our model and algorithm. The experimental results show that our model can outperform other five budget allocation strategies in terms of reducing the revenue loss of the advertiser.

Images taken by different sensors at different time instant with different resolutions are formulated by state space models, and are fused by use of Multiscale Kalman Filter(MKF). The effectiveness of the presented algorithm is shown by comparing it with the wavelet based method through experiments, where four performance measures are used. The performance evaluation indices are the root mean square errors(RMSE), the information entropy(Entropy), the space frequency(SF) and the space visibility(SV). Theretical analysis and experimental results show the effectiveness of the presented algorithm.

This paper presents the design and optimization method of near space intelligent target generator to simulate the physical characteristics of the near space vehicle. Combined with High Level Architecture distributed simulation technology, a common, repeatable and verified platform for the near space vehicle has been provided. This method used 3D modeling software Creator and 3D visual rendering software Vega, two-dimensional map and three-dimensional vision were constructed to form a simulation environment, which enhanced the authenticity of the simulation. Based on particle swarm optimization, the intelligent path planning study of near space vehicle was conducted in this environment to make up for the inadequate intelligence of traditional target generators.

A mother or transporting robot is designed in this paper, which is dedicated to retrieve, transport and deploy the children or smaller robots to configure a robotic team called the marsupial robotic system. In order to manage children robots flexibly, a multi-floor docking station is mounted on the mother robot with a lifting platform which is dragged via lead-screw driving. Touch switches are utilized to initialize the lifting height and identify whether a child robot arrives at the parking position. Also, a dock camera is set on the top of the station to recognize different children robots for the purpose of deploying or retrieving. The locomotion ability is enhanced by combining the advantages of the wheeled-mobile platform and tracked-mobile platform with the concept of wheel-track combo, which barely increases the complexity of mechanism. Finally, a prototype of mother robot is developed and implemented.

Repetitive activities of daily living (ADL) and robotic active training are commonly practised in the rehabilitation of paralyzed patients, both of which have been proven rather effective to recover the locomotor function of impaired limbs. ADL classification based on electroencephalogram (EEG) is of great significance to perform active robotic rehabilitation for patients with complete spinal cord injury (SCI) who lose locomotion of affected limbs absolutely, where surface electromyography (sEMG) or active force signal can hardly be detected. It is a challenge to achieve a satisfying result in neuro-rehabilitation robotics using EEG signals due to the high randomness of the EEG data. A classification method is proposed based on spiking neural networks (SNN) to identify the upper-limb ADL of three classes with 14-channel EEG data. The continuous real-number signals are firstly encoded into spike trains through Ben's Spike Algorithm (BSA). The generated spikes are then submitted into a 3-D brain-mapped SNN reservoir called NeuCube trained by Spike Timing Dependant Plasticity (STDP). Spike trains from all neurons of the trained reservoir are finally classified using one version of dynamic evolving spiking neuron networks (deSNN) - deSNNs. Classifications are presented with and without NeuCube respectively on the same EEG data set. Results indicate that using the reservoir improves identification accuracy which turns out pretty promising despite that EEG data is highly noisy, low frequently sampled, and only from 14 channels. The classification technique reveals a great potential for the further implementation of active robotic rehabilitation to the sufferers of complete SCI.
